The PC-8801 mkII SR (also referred to unofficially as the PC-8801 SR or PC-88SR) is the second revision of the PC-8801 computer by NEC. It was launched at the beginning of 1985.
Hardware
While the PC-8801 mkII was more of a case redesign than a hardware upgrade, the PC-8801 mkII SR offers a number of improvements over the previous two PC-8801 models while maintaining backwards compatibility. The SR introduces a YM2203 for FM sound, two joystick ports and most signficantly "V2 mode" for graphics. These three features combined made the system more suited to video games than its predecessors, and would become the de-facto standard for PC-8801 games in the coming years.
Like the mkII, the SR was sold in three configurations; the model 10 (no drives), model 20 (one double-density drive) and model 30 (two double density drives). This machine, and the very similar PC-8801 mkII TR, were the last computers to be produced by NEC that maintained compatibilty for PC-8001 games through its "N mode" graphics mode.
